Shannon Elizabeth made an appearance on the red carpet recently, without a younger gentleman in tow. The “American Pie” star has been spending plenty of time perfecting her poker game as of late, and was a World Series of Poker entrant.

I’d like to officially welcome actress Shannon Elizabeth to the club as a celebrity cougar. In 2005 Shannon divorced cameo actor Joe Reitman, and has been romantically linked to various people such as Mario Lopez.

Recently, the 34 year old Shannon was caught swapping spit with her 22 year old Dancing With The Stars partner Derek Hough. So let’s cut right to the tale of the tape.
